Imagine being sprayed by Pepé Le Pew and an army of his malodorous friends. You'd rush home and soak in a tub of tomato juice to try to get rid of the smell, right? Now imagine a stench that has nothing on what those white-striped stinkers can douse — that's one weapon being used for crowd control in Israel, and it's coming soon to the United States.
The Israel Defense Forces have been waging war against rioters with a nonlethal — albeit truly putrid — product called skunk water, or just skunk since 2008. The spray, which was developed by Israeli firm Odortec, is said to be 100 percent organic and harmless, and consists of an extremely foul-smelling liquid with the viscosity of water that can be dispersed over a large area using a water cannon. Odortec says the overpowering stench of Skunk drives rioters away — and keeps them away, "effectively shutting down escalating situations."
Skunk was first used in August 2008 in the Palestinian village of Ni'lin in the West Bank. Border police squirted the liquid at demonstrators from containers carried on their backs. Since then, it's been used regularly on water cannons against Palestinian neighborhoods in occupied East Jerusalem. But Israel has also started used it against its own citizens, as in the case of Ultra-Orthodox Jews protesting compulsory military service in 2014.

But it's not just Israeli police using Skunk water — it's now available to U.S. police forces, as well, thanks to U.S. distributor Mistral Security. In November 2014, after violent protests in nearby Ferguson, Missouri, stemming from the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, documents suggest the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department ordered several canisters of Skunk.

And we should immediately drop leaflets via artillery and by air.
Has anyone seen a map plotting the movements of this “caravan” so far? I wonder how close this hurricane will get to their current trajectory?
On the other hand, Trump might have decided that only a good blood-letting will get the point across.
It might be the only way at this point. I myself prefer more surgical minimal casualty strikes and see what happens. But keep ammo close at hand for officers/sergeants to break the seal if needed.
A hurricane would not stop them. They’ll get bussed over to the border pronto if they need it.
If it uses stench to control crowds, it will be useless against Occupy Wall Street and Antifa types.
I use stink bait, available at all fine tackle shops. It is useful to get rid of idiot neighbors. It won’t go away.
That and loud sound whimpers. The military has those on truckers
At same time Trump should freeze all monies being sent to Mexico, cut all aid, and freeze all bank assets
Don’t think so. They look well fed not dirty or sweaty and they seem well hydrated. Plus no one seems to have blisters or leg weariness
As an aside, I actually don’t mind the smell of skunk.. Weird, I know.
Skunk water may be bad but the worst thing I have ever smelled was when I emptied a liquid fly trap. That gagged me and everyone down wind for several hundred yards. If you get it on you it soaks into the skin and you stink for days. It is so bad it makes a skunk smell good.
Ever notice that coffee smells like a very weak skunk spray?
Or just find the next major bridge ahead on their route and blow it to smithereens.
Where are the pottys? Showers?
Skunkin Donuts..
Another good suggestion, but all of these ideas require the will to use them. We need to move beyond words to action yesterday and not allow the enemy column to approach the US border or the camera crews, propagandists and US domestic enemies will assure that they get in.
Only that civet-cat coffee, and I can’t afford that.
It will clear a room, pronto!!!
Don’t attack them.
Attack their logistical support.
